About this work
art002e012114 (April 6, 2026) - A diverse set of lunar features is visible in this view, including the brightly colored Aristarchus crater, whose high reflectivity stands out against the surrounding terrain. Nearby, the Marius Hills region reveals a field of volcanic domes and cones, evidence of past lunar volcanism. The sinuous Reiner Gamma swirl contrasts with the darker mare surface, while rays from Glushko crater streak across the plains.
